"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

Some comments by the Scam-O-Matic about the following email:

An email address listed inside this email has been used in a known fraud before.
This email uses a separate reply address that is different from the sender address. Spammers use this to get replies even when the original spam sending accounts have been shut down. Also, sometimes the sender addresses are legitimate looking but fake and only the reply address is actually an email account controlled by the scammers.
The following fake company names, fake addresses, non-existent institutions/documents or other details have appeared in scams before:
- "diplomatic delivery"
The following phrases in this message should put you on alert:
- "diplomatic delivery" ("diplomats" who perform deliveries of cash or other valuables to you only exist in 419 scams)
This email message is a 419 scam. Please see our 419 FAQ for more details on such scams.
This email lists free webmail addresses. Use of such addresses is typical for scams. Lotteries, banks and any but the smallest of companies do not normally use such addresses. Criminals use them to anonymously send and receive email at Internet cafes.

Peace be unto you.

I, Rodrigo Brosh, from Afghanistan, a politician and government official
who worked with the Ministry of Finance before the Taliban took over
Afghanistan.
I beg your help to receive and secure my luggage in your country.

I want to send my digital safe containing my life savings ($ 2.6 million
US) two million six hundred thousand dollars and some of my very important
documents by diplomatic delivery from Afghanistan to your country for
security reasons and investment in your country. Unfortunately, I can not
send the money through the bank Because the Taliban have taken over all the
institutions in Afghanistan.We are under immediate threat from massacres
and targeted executions of government officials since the Taliban returned
to power in our country and I am hiding to avoid the risk of lethal
retaliatory actions by the Taliban while I wait for paperwork to evacuate
with my family.

I hope to hear from you through my personal email [rodrigobruh33@gmail.com]
for my security as the Taliban are monitoring calls to find out our exact
location in Kabul. For delivery to Israel, please send me your full name,
address and telephone number.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Rodrigo Bruh
